   From Elizabeth Newman, "My mother in law, Dorothy Killingsworth is the last child of William Dayton Killingsworth, a minister from Texas and Olga Genetta Hocutt, his second wife. Apparently, William Dayton was holding a revival in Fayetteville Alabama, the area where Olga was born and raised. That is where they met."
